I found a cure for bouncing legs / nervousness but I dont know what it is exactly, please help me find it!
Help me Obi Wan Ken...wait. Wrong time, wrong galaxy.
So, I have a really, really annoying problem: Bouncing legs in the evening. My bio rythm is weird and I usually feel a bit tired after waking up around 10 am, even though my sleep is extremely restful and long enough. Maybe at 70% performance. I sometimes use caffeine (Guayusa) for a boost, but I do it rarely and only when needed so I dont build tolerance. I can function well enough.
Starting early evening my mind and body finally seem to find their full potential. Maybe even too full. I am wide awake, productive...and my legs start bouncing. At least when I am passive, reading or watching stuff. Its been there for years. But recently I started wondering why. And I really started disliking it. I feel like I cant truly relax. So I tried finding a cure.

Note: Funny thing is, while meditating I dont have that problem.

Out of all the stuff I tried only one thing helped to far: non-alcoholic beer (though it still has ~0.45 % vol). Its called "Jever Fun" over here. I dont drink alcohol regularly for a long time. Years ago I did, but I cant remember if it helped my bouncing legs.
So I wonder: Is it really the small amount of alcohol that helps stop my legs? I dont want to consume alcohol regularly.
Theres also other stuff in it. Hops, barley malt and fermentation carbon dioxide (really hope thats what its called in english).
I tried drinking hops tea. It tastes like shit and didnt help my bouncing legs at all.
Could it be the barley malt? The AI said something about "Hordenine" being the likely cause. Anyone has more info on that?
When I drink that non alcoholic beer I even feel as if something is tingling behind my forehead. And I feel really relaxed in my body. Only 200-250ml maximum is enough! The "go-mode" is gone that made me bounce my legs non stop unconciously (I am able to stop it conciously without problem...but I cant focus on my legs all the time). Sure, I could just keep on drinking that drink. But id like some other way, maybe a supplement or something. I dont like the idea of drinking beer (even non alcoholic) every evening.
Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to get into enough detail. Id love if someone could help me or tell me what to try. I guess others might have that problem too and might be looking for a cure also :)
